Just got back from ECS. They were putting a new flywheel on - a solid one from an stick vs the one from an automatic. The ECS strengthened driveshaft was causing a vibration noise in blue so they decided to take care of it now while it is down. All will go back in tomorrow and Doug may take it to ETOWN on Saturday.

Alan,

Since the tranny is still somewhat of an unknown, I'll just stick to some time trials and if it behaves, at least one round of the CC.

Did you take it to ECS??

Not Exactly.

No I didnt take it to them , talked to Doug on the phone though he was a bit puzzled too

Probably not racing it but he will need to put some miles on the new combo anyway since we swapped out the 427 back to the 402. We are also going to dial the tune down a bit. Will still likely run a high 9 second but not going for a new PB. Going to actually run it around the streets for a while. Been way too long since I have done that.
